Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 7 Predictions For The Trailer

7. The Music Will Be Binary Sunset

Music is an integral part of Star Wars - some great fan-edits reveal how creepy certain scenes sound without John Williams iconic score. So obviously the soundtrack will be an essential part of the trailer. It could go with something new, although that would be a bit of mis-step (and unlikely as Williams, who is returning to compose, won't have anything finished just yet). The most likely score for the trailer would be Binary Sunset - the slowed rendition of the main theme that plays over Luke's sunset mope in Star Wars. It may then segue into something else (Imperial March?), but what's definite is that this unforgettable beat will appear. Binary Sunset was also used for the Revenge Of The Sith teaser, but it's so encapsulating of the franchise that repeating the trick again here wouldn't be a mistake in any way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZUDWKs4HZ0
